Here it's git-1.4.4 (self-built from Junio's SRPM, on Fedora rawhide i686).

Works fine here with 1.4.3.3.g869c.

Horst, this is the second recent example of something not working in your environment that works for others. Is it possible you have an old stray version of git installed in your ~/bin or something? By the way, did you ever resolve that other issue?
